"Dutch Parliamentarian Wilders incites hate" - "Wilders needs to be impeached" - EU-Digest

A lawyer from Lelystad reported to police on Wednesday to bring a case against Geert Wilders. Els Lucas says that the politician's letter published in the Volkskrant on Wednesday incites hate between population groups. In the letter Wilders compares the Koran with Hitler's Mein Kampf and urges that the holy book of Islam be banned. "I think that is really taking it too far. Moreover it is unseemly that a member of Parliament is expressing himself in this manner," Lucas said.

EU-Digest Comment: Mr. Wilders statements show that he does not deserve to be a Dutch Parliamentarian and needs to be impeached. Unfortunately the Dutch government majority will probably not have the stomach to do anything significant to make Mr. Wilders understand that statements like this incite hate and have nothing to do with freedom of speech. The "cosmetic" reactions by the Dutch political system following the Srebrenica massacre, when Dutch UN troops did not lift a finger to stop this mass murder of innocent civilians, is a good example of how weak the Dutch political establishment is when it comes to taking any firm action to punish their own. We can only hope that this time the Dutch government will set an example and take the appropriate action against Mr. Wilders.

Holland once had a good name but now because of Pim Fortuyne and Geert Wilders, Holland is now called, NAZI HOLLAND. I have once lived there in the past and loved it because it was really a tolerant country. But now I have no hesitation in saying that Holland is a Nazi country.

I hate Nazi Holland and Geert Wilders who is the biggest Nazi of the world.

Not Wilders but Islam is inciting hatred, and Wilders is one of the very few politicians that have the guts standing up to it.

Take a look around in the world, in ever country where muslims live with non-muslims you see riots, civil war and eventually genocide.
Islam is a fascist ideology disguised as a religion.
